Intro to Digital Media

I reflected on the creativity mission and I feel that I have learned a lot from it, this mission has pushed me to learn a few new skills such as how to work in a group, how to successfully search for information on the internet, helped me to further develop my Power point skills and helped me get out of my comfort zone, and most importantly I learned how to create my own Gif, something I would have never learn otherwise.                  I feel satisfied with the outcome of this mission as this was our first presentation and I feel that it was a good starting point for the next upcoming projects.

We formed a group together as all 3 of us were interested in this particular topic and wanted to learn more about it. We started off by brainstorming and trying to figure out what we wanted our end product to look like. We decided that meeting up in person to try and work on it together would be our best bet.                               On Tuesday morning all three of us met up in our free Mac lab alongside some of our other classmates and started brainstorming on our project idea. As a group we had to sit down and figure out what we would like our end project to include and thats when we began reading through the resources that were given to us on Moodle, which we found very helpful in guiding us through this mission.We knew that it was necessary for us to include the history of the Gif and how it w
